Psalms

Chapter 18

  1. 1

    Unto the end. A psalm for David.

  2. 2

    The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.

  3. 3

    Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.

  4. 4

    There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.

  5. 5

    Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

  6. 6

    He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:

  7. 7

    His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.

  8. 8

    The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.

  9. 9

    The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.

  10. 10

    The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

  11. 11

    More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

  12. 12

    For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.

  13. 13

    Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:

  14. 14

    And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.

  15. 15

    And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.
